Jodie is a cousin of Lindsay Monroe's and they haven't seen each other for quite some time and both are unaware of what has been happening in each other's lives.

Jodie also has a young daughter with her husband who she loves very much and she would like to reconnect with her cousin one way or another but she still thinks about her every single day that goes past.

She feels like she has regrets about not seeing much of her cousin after she left Montana after a heated row with her family over her choice of husband but she sometimes wonders how Lindsay will react to coming face to face with her cousin again.
